Pectoral Sandpiper (three photos)
Calidris melanotos

Pectoral sandpiper at Bear River
Not a great picture, but it will do for my first Pectoral Sandpiper photo.

Killdeer with Pectoral Sandpiper
Handy to have this killdeer walk through so I could
compare sizes.  It was a little smaller than the killdeer.
And, here's a photo of it with a Least Sandpiper.
Pectoral Sandpiper and a Lease Sandpiper
I decided it was a Pectoral Sandpiper because of the size, the beak, the
yellowish legs, and the breast coloring and appearance.
